SubjectRe: [musl] Broken vDSO on built kernel

To provide a bit more detail, we've found that the vdso mappend into the
application has no dynamic symbols; Glibc ignores the vdso, so it continues to
work, but musl segfaults since the vdso is invalid.

I'm pasting below `readelf -aW` output on the vdso dumped on the affected
system (via 'fwrite((void*)getauxval(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR), 8192, 1, stdout)';
as you can see, there's no dynamic symbols and symbol hash tables. It may
be a toolchain bug since there was no issue with 4.6 kernel (and reportedly
there were no significant vdso changes merged into 4.7 -- the issue is seen
on Ubuntu's 4.7rc2).
